HISTORICAL BACKGROUND:
WANDERING VOLHYNIANS: A Magazine for the Descendants of
Germans
From Volhynia and Congress Poland
Wandering Volhynians is a quarterly publication dedicated to serving the genealogical,
historical and heritage interests of descendants of Germans who migrated to or through
Congress Poland and Volhynia. Regular features include a surname data base, a query
column, obituary listings, and a problem corner. Interspersed with these regular features are
maps, book reports, translations of old German material, reports on research and tourist trips
to east Europe, personal successes, documents, pedigrees, photographs or drawings, and so
on. Each issue contains 24 pages.
Wandering Volhynians Newsletter had its beginnings in 1987 as a
home made, photocopied newsletter for Germans from Volhynia. Ron Neuman of
Edmonton, Canada was the editor and there were 18 subscribers. Word spread quickly and
the subscription list grew rapidly.
In 1989, Ron met Ewald Wuschke of Vancouver, Canada. Ewald has done decades of
personal and general research in both Poland and Volhynia. He also happens to own a
printing firm so it did not take long to put the two together into a very high quality
publication. Ewald took over editing and publication duties.
Other volunteers assisted with the surname list, subscriptions, and contributing articles.
It was also decided to include Congress Poland research as part of the mandate as over
75% of Volhynian Germans originated there. As of mid 1996, there were over 600
subscribers.
Since 1999, Wandering Volhynians has ceased publication, due to the
illness of its editor Ewald Wuschke.
